SQL Server Account will work for SQL Server but fails to ReportServer

Question

Setting up SSRS. For Service Account,

1. I set a domain account as the Report Server Service Account.
2. click apply
3. SQL Server Connection Dialog pops up. Need to specify an account with admin privileges.
   • set Credentials Type = SQL Server Account
   • I use sa account (which works, verified many ways with sql server management studio)

I fails with the following:

System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot start service ReportServer on computer 'DEVDB5'. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The service did not start due to a logon failure --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.Start(String[] args) at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.Start() at ReportServicesConfigUI.Panels.WindowsServiceIdentityPanel.StartWindowsServicePostChangeWindowsServiceIdentity(ServiceController rsService)

What am I doing wrong.

btw: it was working fine as of yesterday. I originally set up SSRS a few days ago using the sa account

maybe reconfiguring your report server solve this problem.
